Andy's Handy Work

I just wanted to post this picture that Andy took of Owen. He recently downloaded a trial version of photo shop and he is getting quite good with it... just wanted to share :)

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

Last Friday we took Owen to his very first baseball game!

We went to the Round Rock Express game in Round Rock. They are a minor league team. Gabby, Becky, Steffanie and Hannah all joined us.

We had a wonderful time and Owen was very observant of everything going on around him! He actually did quite well sitting through the entire game. Of course it wouldn't be a baseball game witout cotton candy :) Although, Owen decided very quickly he didn't like it! I couldn't believe it! Hannah was trying to feed it to him and he would open his mouth but I guess he couldn't get past the texture or the fact that it dissolved on his tongue, because he kept making a sour face. You would have thought he was eating a lemon! It was SOOOOOO funny! We stayed for the fire works after the game and that put him right to sleep... he may have been a little worn out too ;) What a great memory to add to the bank!

Here and there and EVERYWHERE!

As you can see by the date I posted my last blog, we have obviously been VERY busy! My dad and Becky came down to visit Owen earlier this month and we had a good visit. Owen really loves his Gabby :) I hosted a baby shower for my dear friend Lyndsey on April 12th. She is expecting a baby girl, Heagan, on May 21st and we showered her with gifts galore! That girl will never run out of clothes!!!! It was a great day and so good to see Lyndsey! We have been friends since high school and I cherish her friendship so much! We stayed at Nana and Papa's after the shower to squeeze in a quick visit.

The Grandparents and Great Grandparents (yes it took four of them) babysat Owen for us on Saturday night and we actually went OUT! We met Scott and Liz at the House of Blues in Dallas and went to my cousin's concert.My cousin is in an alternative band and we just love to go hear them play when we get a chance :) http://www.greenriverordinance.com/ - check them out, they're GREAT!!!

We had such a great time stepping out on the town ;)

Owen News: Owen is growing like a weed! He is now 10 months old and has changed so much in the last two months. He is crawling all over the place. (he's graduated from his "injured soldier" crawl to an actual crawl on all fours) It's so funny to see him crawl because he lifts up his hands real high as if he is prancing. Too cute! He is also pulling up on everything and starting to "cruise" a little. He will be walking in NO TIME! I can't believe it! He is sleeping a little better at night; he's only been waking up once at night for the last couple of days. We have also been teaching him baby sign language and he is really picking it up. His favorite sign? TOUCHDOWN! He also knows "more" and "daddy". ALSO, he has his two bottom teeth coming in. He is going to look so cute with teeth. Maybe now he'll grow some hair and loose his old man look ;) We just ordered him a pool for the summer and I can't wait for the weather to get a little warmer so we can swim :) Owen LOVES his baths so I can't wait to see what fun he will have in the pool!!!

Mimi is coming down today and we are headed to the Poppy Festival in the morning to see what crafts we can find :)

Happy Easter!

Owen had a wonderful first Easter! He got a beautiful Easter basket from the Easter Bunny (Thanks Grammy and Granddaddy!). Owen wasn't too sure he wanted his picture taken at church but once Mommy and Daddy joined him, he was fine :)

Of course we were all coordinating in our Easter attire, even if it was a little chilly...

We had some quality family time this weekend and took advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday. We went for a stroll down Main Street in Salado... such a beautiful place to live! We don't do that often enough. We got some great pictures of Owen in his baseball cap. Now you would think he would be quick to rip that thing off his head but he actually left it on... he wants to be just like his daddy ;)

Let there be SLEEP!!!!

Well Owen finally slept all night last night! WOOOHOOOO!!!! It was wonderful!!!!! He started to sleep all night right before Christmas but then we went out of town and he hasn't done it since then. We kept him up a little later last night and he crawled around until he absolutely couldn't hold his head up any longer, I think he wore himself out!
We are hoping for a repeat tonight :)

Welcome to our blog!

Welcome to our family blog, The Curtis Circle!!!! Please check back for new postings and of course recent pictures of our pride and joy, Owen :)
